SCANDAL – Taiyou SCANDALOUS

SCANDAL – Taiyou SCANDALOUS

To be honest I’m a bit divided with this one. I absolutely loved the PV, the girls were very lively (as they always were) and the white costume stands out from the blue & other colours in the background. As for the song… honestly when I first found out that they’re going to call it Taiyou SCANDALOUS, I went WTF. I mean, they already had the word SCANDAL in their “SCANDAL Nanka Buttobase” single, I personally find it not very tasteful to have your band name IN your song title. Once is fine, but to do it again?
Anyway, the song.
Yes, it’s a very bright, light summer song, which is what it’s meant to be, but I was expecting something more I think? It’s got catchy riffs, but not catchy enough to bump it to Oricon #1, which is where I want their songs to be. Here’s hoping that I’m wrong again!

Here’s the PV for Taiyou SCANDALOUS – Lyrics and Translation should be up tonight

Looking at the mirror, I’m a joke
As I continue to pass through
It’s gossip fever!
I get shocked at mere child’s play

An inner heart fighter
This flaring impulse
is a fearless fire
You didn’t even notice that?

This fleetingly swaying mirage
But my screams aren’t reaching
Makes your heart pound, doesn’t it? Being unexperienced
The future you still can’t see is right there
This throbbing won’t stop

~ chorus ~
No doubt
There’s no point if it’s same as your imagination
There even is no below beyond your imagination
The coiling sun
is currently firing up my soul!
Isn’t it better if it’s higher than the highest?
Parallel World Full Throttle!
Don’t take me lightly

God, I beg of you,
I want you to turn this into a summer ready to burst open!
Taiyou (Sun) Scandalous
Yes! Yay Yay Yay

These unfriendly days will knock you out
If you’re stocking up on your
your overflowing emotions
You’ll freeze up, and won’t move

Fireworks are fluttering down at night
But my prayers aren’t reaching
I can’t conceal this uneasiness
The tomorrow you still can’t see is right there
My feelings won’t change

~ chorus ~
No doubt
There’s no point if it’s same as your imagination
There even is no below beyond your imagination
Your intertwined instincts
are currently firing up my soul!
Isn’t it better if you had a desire to improve?
This is the invitation to the world you never knew
This unfaithful summer, Baby a lady

God is laughing
I want to have a ready to melt dream!

No matter where I go, in total darkness
I’m wandering around in circles in this maze
If the answer is beyond this point
then don’t stop! Look, keep running!

This fleetingly swaying mirage
But my screams aren’t reaching
This fleetingly swaying dream-like state
The future you still can’t see is right there
This throbbing won’t stop

~ chorus ~
No doubt
There’s no point if it’s same as your imagination
There even is no below beyond your imagination
The coiling sun
is currently firing up my soul!
Isn’t it better if it’s higher than the highest?
Parallel World Full Throttle!
Don’t take me lightly

God, I beg of you,
I want you to turn this into a summer ready to burst open!
Taiyou (Sun) Scandalous
Yes! Yay Yay Yay
You gotta make this intense! You gotta! You gotta!

I like haruna’s hair in this because it isn’t blonde any more Brown hair suits her a mill times better

In my opinion.

according to your description, i don’t actually think that the word ‘scandalous’ is considered as a band name in the song~ personally, i feel that words like scandalous,scandalicious etc are more of an adjective now than just a band name :3
Eg: what a scandalous day~
